Jose Mourinho jokingly suggested Man United were trying to save money for January after he found no water at his press conference.

ESPN FC's Ale Moreno feels Miguel Almiron may be better suited for a move to La Liga with reports swirling over a potential move to Newcastle.

Europe's biggest clubs continue to work behind the scenes as the winter transfer window approaches. Transfer Talk has been scouring the world's media to see who could be heading to your club when Jan. 1 arrives.

TOP STORY: Barca desperate to land Kane in £200m deal

It is said that timing is everything,and that phrase springs to mind when reading The Daily Star's report that Barcelona are desperate to land Tottenham's Harry Kane -- with the two sides set to meet in the Champions League this week.

"Star of X Team is a target for Y Team" seems to be a recurring report in the week leading up to Champions League clashes these days -- seemingly in a bid to unsettle the player before a crunch clash -- and it has happened again ahead of Spurs' trip to Camp Nou on Tuesday.

But when it comes to Kane, it is easy to see why Barca may want to land the World Cup Golden Boot winner. Kane has proven himself to be one of the world's leading marksmen and, with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi getting older, the La Liga side will need to bring in striking reinforcements in the coming years.

The Star reports that they want to land Kane next summer in a deal worth around £200 million.

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, Atletico Madrid's Antoine Greizmann and Everton's Brazilian forward Richarlison are also said to be on their radar, but Kane is their No. 1 target if the tabloid is to be believed.

Spurs must match Inter Milan's result at home to PSV to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League, with Barca assured of top spot in Group B.

22.28 GMT: After buying defender Diogo Dalot from Porto this summer, Man United could return to sign another defender in January.

The Times writes that United could make a €50 million move for Eder Militao, with Jose Mourinho keen on adding defensive replacements. The 20-year-old has impressed at Porto since arriving in the summer from Sao Paulo and made his international debut for Brazil earlier this year.

Man United have been linked with big-money defenders like Toby Alderweireld, Harry Maguire and KalIdou Koulibaly in recent months but Militao would be a cheaper and younger alternative.

21.35 GMT: Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has no regrets about turning down Man City last summer.

Ndombele believes that he has benefitted from staying at Lyon, where regular playing time and Champions League football have helped him develop as a player.

City reportedly made a £45 million bid this summer to sign the Frenchman during the previous transfer window.

20.47 GMT: Newport County to Old Trafford?

Teenage goalscorer Antoine Semenyo could make that unlikely transfer if a report in the Express is to be believed.

The 18-year-old is on loan at League Two's Newport County from Bristol City and has scored five goals already this season. Semenyo is one for the future and according to Bristol City loan manager Brian Tinnion is attracting attention from the Red Devils.

"I was sat with a Man United scout at Newport the other week, to be honest," he said. People will like him because he's 18 years of age."

We will keep an eye on this one as the transfer window gets closer.

20.00 GMT: Newcastle, linked with Atlanta United midfielder Miguel Almiron, have been warned that no club will sign him unless a "proper offer" is received. The Chronicle reports Atlanta president Darren Eales as saying: "We're not under any sort of pressure to transfer the player so in that sense it has to be a realistic offer that measures the true value of Miguel Almiron, who is just a wonderful player."

19.30 GMT: Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund have watched West Ham defender Reece Oxford, with both considering a January bid for the 19-year-old, according to the Mirror.

18.15 GMT: Ligue 1 club Marseille could make moves for Arsenal 's Nacho Monreal and Liverpool 's Alberto Moreno in the winter window, according to reports in France.

16.45 GMT: West Ham striker Andy Carroll, out of contract in the summer, has told talkSPORT he wants a new deal at the London Stadium. The former Newcastle player said: "It's important for me to get back playing, get back fully fit and show that I deserve another deal here."

15.30 GMT: North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal are being linked with Bristol City defender Lloyd Kelly, according to reports.

14.45 GMT: Victor Moses could return to his old club Crystal Palace from Chelsea in a £12 million deal, according to the Mail.

Moses, a Palace player between 2007 and 2010, is interesting Eagles boss Roy Hodgson after making only six Blues appearances this season.

13:55 GMT: Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez had been linked with a move away from West Ham recently, with sources telling ESPN FC last month that Turkish club Besiktas would be interested in a January move for the Mexico striker.

However, after scoring five goals in his last six games for the Hammers, Chicharito is talking like a man who's not thinking of moving.

"I'm trying my best -- I'm enjoying playing football, that's what I love most and thankfully the points and goals are coming as well," he told reporters after Saturday's 3-2 win over Crystal Palace. "Hopefully this run keeps going."

12.40 GMT: Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian is regularly linked with a return to Serie A, so his admission to Gazetta Dello Sport that he misses his homeland will only add to that speculation.

"I must say, I really do miss Serie A and Italy now," the former Torino full-back said amid reported interest from Juventus, Inter Milan, Napoli and Roma. "I know that I am at one of the best clubs in the world and I am proud to be at Manchester United, but I do miss Italy. I love my country."

11.45 GMT: Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are the clubs predictably most heavily linked with moves for Ajax's midfield prodigy Frenkie de Jong, but Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has suggested the German giants would also be interested.

"He's a good player, no doubt about that," Salihamidzic told reporters after Bayern's 3-0 win over Nurnberg on Saturday. "I already know him for a long time. He has developed very well, and plays great for both Netherlands and Ajax. We'll see if he goes to Paris.

10.55 GMT: AC Milan's hopes of signing Cesc Fabregas in January hinge on Chelsea succeeding in bringing in Denis Suarez from Barcelona, according to Calciomercato.

Fabregas has been linked with the Serie A club for the past few transfer windows, but the interest has yet to turn into anything more substantial.

However, if Chelsea are willing to pay the €40m that Barca want for Suarez, then they could offload Fabregas to Italy to make space in their squad.

09.30 GMT: Manchester United have held talks with French club Amiens over a compensation package for 16-year-old winger Noam Emeran, according to the Daily Mail.

The report claims that the France under-16 international models his game on Manchester City star Leroy Sane, could arrive in January for an initial £1.8m.

If United succeed, they will have beaten European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Barcelona and Valencia to the youngster's signature, the Mail story adds.

PAPER TALK: Guardiola livid City let PSG move in on De Jong

Pep Guardiola is said to be furious with Manchester City's hierarchy after they decided to put their potential move for Ajax's Frenkie De Jong on hold, leaving Paris Saint-Germain to steal a march in trying to secure the rising star's services -- according to The Mirror.

It is claimed that Guardiola held a three-and-a-half-hour meeting with the midfielder in London last month and that City officials were set to fly to Amsterdam on Thursday to complete a deal with Ajax.

But with less than 24 hours until the meeting, it is claimed the English champions wanted to put the talks over the £66.8m transfer on hold. That left the door open and earlier this week it was claimed PSG had agreed terms with the 21-year-old. The midfielder's agent has since dismissed a deal is in place, meaning there is still hope for City,

Barcelona and all the other clubs hopeful of landing one of Europe's most sought-after players.

PSG want Hazard despite Financial Fair Play concerns

It was reported this week that Paris Saint-Germain may need to sell one of Neymar or Kylian Mbappe due to concerns around them satisfying Financial Fair Play but the club quickly dismissed those claims and today The Mirror report the Ligue 1 champions are actually looking to spend big once more, this time to sign Chelsea's Eden Hazard.

French newspaper L'Equipe reported on Friday that PSG are discussing all their options due to UEFA's investigation into the way the club have approached FFP, suggesting they may need to sell one of their biggest stars. But Ligue 1's dominant force released a statement describing the report as "erroneous" and "ridiculous," and called into question the publication's "intellectual honesty and ulterior motives."

The Mirror's report states that PSG want to challenge the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus for Hazard's signature.

Chelsea are desperate to retain their star man's services and have offered him £300,000-per-week to stay at the club but he has so far refused to commit his long-term future to the club, with his current deal due to expire in 2020.

United told to spend big if they want to land top target

Manchester United have made Kalidou Koulibaly their top transfer target but The Times report the Red Devils have been told they must spend in excess of £90m if they want to land their man.

United officials met with his current club Napoli recently to discuss the potential transfer in January and owner Aurelio De Laurentiis made it clear they see Koulibaly as integral to their hopes of catching Juventus at the top of Serie A, with the lead currently standing at eight points, and would be reluctant sellers. Napoli are said to be under no financial pressure to sell the 27-year-old, who has been at the club since 2014.

United are one of the few clubs in world football who could afford the kind of money the Naples-based side want for the Senegal international and with centre-back a huge headache for manager Jose Mourinho, the fee may not put off the club's hierarchy.

Arsenal considering letting Ozil leave on the cheap

There is no denying that on his day Mesut Ozil is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world but The Sun report Arsenal are considering letting him leave the club on the cheap.

The German was the North London club's record signing when they paid Real Madrid £42.5m to sign him in August 2013 but has struggled to get into the side under Unai Emery. But Ozil's eye-watering wage of £350,000 a week is likely to put off many clubs and could be a factor in the Gunners reducing their asking price to around £25m, if reports are to be believed.

Inter Milan are said to be the side most interested in the World Cup winner and the player's representatives are expected to fly to Italy this week to hold talks, with Juventus another side believed to be keen.

City not given up on keeping hold of Madrid-bound Diaz

Brahim Diaz has agreed to sign for Real Madrid if reports are to be believed but The Sun claim Manchester City are still trying to persuade the rising star to remain at the Etihad.

Diaz's contract expires in 2019 and the 19-year-old has so far turned down City's £25,000-per-week contract offers, which means from January he is free to agree a move to another club next summer. It is claimed Real have assured the midfielder he will receive more game time than at City and despite being able to get him on the cheap next summer when he is a free agent, they are willing to pay an £8m "gesture fee" in January.

The Sun claim that would basically mean Real would guarantee Diaz's services next summer, with other clubs likely to target the talented Spaniard, and also take out the development costs which would be awarded at a tribunal.

England's rising star Jadon Sancho, who also left City to secure more game time, is hoping to persuade his friend to reunite with him at Borussia Dortmund. But City have not given up on trying to keep Diaz beyond this season, with the player believed to want in the region of £35,000 per week.

Football Whispers' transfer algorithm gives the likelihood of rumours happening a score out of five.

Ozan Kabak to Manchester City -- 2.8

It is well known Galatasaray's Turkish centre-back Ozan Kabak is a target for Manchester United but the £20m-rated defender is also wanted by their closest rivals. It has been claimed the defender may have a €7.5m (£6.6m) release clause in his contract and he is wanted by several clubs across Europe.

Lloyd Kelly to Tottenham -- 2.5

Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for Bristol City defender Lloyd Kelly but are expected to face competition from a host of clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool.

Tonny Vilhena to Tottenham -- 2.4

Tottenham are set to challenge Roma for the services of Feyenoord midfielder Tonny Vilhena. The 23-year-old has made 15 appearances for Netherlands and has a contract until 2020.

Danny Welbeck to Galatasaray -- 2.1

Galatasaray are hopeful of signing Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck when his contract at Arsenal ends in the summer. The 28-year-old has struggled with injuries of late and would be available on a free transfer if the Gunners decide against giving the ex-Manchester United man a new deal.
